President, Provost Share Update of Strategic Plan

- Following is a memo delivered to the Northwestern community announcing a recently completed update to the University's strategic plan, Northwestern Will.

We have just completed a remarkably successful academic year at Northwestern, and we are pleased to share with you an update on the progress of the University’s strategic plan, Northwestern Will. This update provides a summary of the significant number of initiatives that have been put into motion in the 18 months since the plan was first unveiled.

As the update notes, these initiatives have originated in many areas across the University, which is as it should be. A Catalyst Workgroup has been doing an admirable job of encouraging conversations and actions to support the plan, and the ideas and initiatives encompass all areas of Northwestern.
